Case Study

Incubating a D2C Wellness Brand from Concept to $1M Revenue

Client Profile

A former pharma executive with a concept for a science-backed wellness supplement brand targeting health-conscious millennials in India.

The Challenge

Our Approach

Nirji provided end-to-end venture building: brand identity and packaging design, contract manufacturer sourcing, Shopify store setup, D2C digital marketing strategy (Meta + Google + influencer), and initial inventory financing.

Solution Delivered

Launched 5 SKUs within 4 months, achieved $1M in revenue within 12 months with 35% gross margin, and built a 25K-strong email subscriber base.
